Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals. The current outbreak involves a new coronavirus that causes a condition called COVID-19.
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. This mostly occurs when respiratory droplets from an infected person land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby via a cough or sneeze. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”).
The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure:

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the United States, MeMD is working hard to help keep you and yours healthy, safe, and informed. Below we've answered some commonly asked questions about the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 when choosing MeMD for your care.
Yes. Your MeMD provider will evaluate your symptoms and risk factors/exposure to determine the likelihood of a COVID-19 infection, based on CDC guidelines. They will then determine the best course of treatment based on their evaluation.
No. At this time, MeMD cannot prescribe polymerise chain reaction (PCR) testing for patients. Patients in need of testing will be referred to a community health resource or their primary care provider, who can collect a specimen using a nasal or throat swab, which can then be submitted to a lab for COVID-19 testing.
Yes. Your MeMD providers can order IgG Antibody Tests. This type of blood COVID-19 test is for individuals who think they may have had COVID-19 and do not currently have symptoms nor have shown symptoms for at least two weeks. This test does not tell you if you have an active infection.
